As far as I know, there are no seas on Saturn´s moons either. Anyway, it´s done in lead pencils and a piece of toilet paper to blur with. It works very well!

This is so cool! You have to color it, it would look so great.

This is One of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen of unicorns! and I have seen ALOT of them. What strikes me is that its very "poster material" you would make lot of money if you got a bright colour example and printed it.1 Do you work with oil colours also??

1 Karin Holmström replies: "Thanks for the comments! No, I don´t use oil colours, I prefer acrylics. They get dry much faster! And they´re cheaper. ^_^"

Wow! This is wonderful. It looks so real, but yet, like a dream all at the same time. The shading is amazing, and the unicorns have such a life about them.

actually just to let you know, there is ATLEAST 1 moon of jupiter or saturn that is nothing BUT ice and water; have you people heard of eropa? anyways i love the nice picture

:-) Karin Holmström replies: "Yes, I´ve heard of Europa as well as of Callisto and Ganymede which are also icy. However, with "seas" I meant water in liquid form, with shores and waves (and in this case, unicorns ^_^). A very unlikely combination in our solar system. *sigh* Anyway, thanks for the comment!"

This is great. I love the planets in the background, and that they are so big, yet so close to each other makes a great impression.

It reminds me of a nightmare I had. But done so well that I like it a lot!

Hi Karin! It can be Saturns biggest moon Titan. There may be seas of hydrocarbonates, and who knows what unicorns may tolerate? Realistically speaking, apart from the big planet behind Saturn, I can see one more "problem": When You look at a planet or moon, no part of it can ever be darker than the surrounding sky (try to figure out why, if You not already know it).
Of course You have Your artistic license, and Your art of course doesn’t have to be realistic! It,s a very good drawing, especially the uncorns! 12
